Is he still on TV? Twenty years ago I worked a part-time job doing data entry at a small local brokerage. One of the assistant brokers used to complain because they had a client who would call in almost daily wanting to buy a stock he had a hot tip on, which was invariably whatever Cramer had featured on his show the night before.

Sounds like we don’t know if this particular story is true, but that does seem to be a general bit of human nature that we see over and over again

It’s weird because I feel like I see a lot of solid points from him on EVs and yet I don’t feel like I see a lot of leadership from Ford in the EV space, and missteps in their rollouts. I’ve driven the Lightning and Mach E, great cars in many ways, but still expensive (although I remember the work truck variant of the Lightning was actually slightly less expensive than a comparable ICE vehicle). They spent a lot of money on electric and then haven’t pushed farther.

It’s one area where I wonder if they would do better as a private company, not beholden to investors who want results this quarter.

For people who don’t want to watch a video, here’s the Wikipedia explanation:

The results of a perverse incentive scheme are also sometimes called cobra effects, where people are incentivized to make a problem worse. This name was coined by economist Horst Siebert in 2001 based on a historically dubious anecdote taken from the British Raj. According to the story, the British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped, and the cobra breeders set their snakes free, leading to an overall increase in the wild cobra population.

I saw a post recently explaining that January and February were originally the final months of the year and then at some point they got moved to the front of the year.

Nowadays it’s Facebook Marketplace

I realized a few years ago that most Americans will earn at least $1 million during their working lives. Even if they’re “only” making $30k/year that will get them to $1 million in a little over 33 years. They’ll probably never have much in their bank account, but they’ll have earned that much at some point by the time they retire.

The neighborhood I was in 8 or 9 years ago got fiber and the contractor cut the gas line at least twice on my street, to say nothing of the rest of the streets where they also cut the gas line. It was like they never bothered calling 811 before digging.

I don’t know if this is something available where you live, but Replacements, Ltd. may be able to help you. That’s basically why they exist.

So he took out loans to make Megalopolis and now he’s selling things and borrowing more because the movie flopped so he can’t pay back the loans with the movie’s earnings?

If you’re looking for more mainstream I believe 7digital is also DRM free and available in a number of countries.

It probably depends if you’re getting enough. The best way would be if your doctor tests your levels. My doctor initially prescribed me to take like a 50,000 IU dose once a week with dinner or something like that, but I found it hard to remember. I asked about switching to something daily and took an over-the-counter pill every day, which became a routine and harder to miss. After another test we doubled it so I take two pills every day and now an in a better range. But there were months in between the tests, so I think it takes time to really have an impact.

I think the two words and a number are what Reddit will come up with if you let them pick a name

My local Costco actually moved some of the refrigerated sections around a couple weeks ago, which is still kind of shocking to me

I remember Nintendo getting trolled for still using cartridges with the Nintendo 64 when Sony was already using discs and it looked like the future. Nintendo’s response even then was the cartridges were faster, basically eliminating load time.

The Switch went back to it, or never left if you view it as a DS/3DS successor

Taping to the camera as shown on the left would be challenging to make work at least. The cameras don’t put out light so whatever image you use would have to be on paper thin and light enough for backlighting to work. The distortion that close would also be extreme, so you’d want to keep the main part of your image in the center and small. And yeah, it’d probably be blurry, but the resolution on most of those cameras was already pretty bad up until a few years ago so you might not notice.

The manufacturers were opposed to them being required. I think they claimed it would cost an extra $200-250 per car. But they sure won’t pass up on the ads if they think they can get away with it!
